How to Prevent Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks are on the rise and getting increasingly sophisticated by the day. Many companies around the world are facing a record number of data breaches and phishing attacks.
ISG understands the complexity of your organization and its partner ecosystem – which is why we take a holistic approach to bolstering your cybersecurity now and in the future.
ISG can help you:
In an increasingly connected economy, the importance of cyber security and risk management rises. You need to validate, re-orient and re-align your cybersecurity strategy.
Assess your capabilities and maturity with an ISG assessment built off of industry-leading frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS Top 20, ISO) and market-leading benchmark data. We’ll help you baseline your maturity levels and develop transformational roadmaps to move up the maturity curve.
Outsourcing cybersecurity tools and services on a stand-alone basis or as embedded services can be essential in times of scarce resources and increasing professional and advanced persistent threats.
When sourcing operational services, your chosen partner’s compliance with your corporate information security controls, policies and standards impacts your cyber security’s resilience. Managing your transaction and transition means carefully segregating duties between your organization, your partner and its internal governance.
Re-directed strategy, digitization approaches and sourcing of services and tools let you achieve the expected value leveraging holistically managed transformation measures. Digital tools and services improve efficiency and lower failure rates. End-to-end business processes and connected or digital products require extra-vigilant security protocols.
ISG knows the market best practices. We’ll enable your successful digital transformation with a cyber security operations and management model.

AI investment is accelerating, but results remain uneven. Only one in four initiatives is meeting revenue impact expectations, at an average spend of $1.3M per use case. Enterprises are no longer asking whether AI works. They are being asked to prove that it pays.
AI investment is shifting decisively toward revenue-generating functions. CRM automation, sales enablement and forecasting have replaced chatbots and IT productivity tools as the leading use case priorities, reflecting enterprise recognition that productivity gains alone do not satisfy board-level scrutiny. At the same time, use cases in production have doubled since 2024, and the portfolio is diversifying rapidly, with over 300 distinct function and industry-specific use cases now in active deployment.
ISG research across 1,200 enterprise use cases shows that the strongest AI returns are currently concentrated in compliance, risk management and quality control, not in the growth and cost outcomes most enterprises originally set out to achieve
The gap between where enterprises are investing and where AI is actually delivering is the defining commercial tension of 2025. Organizations that close it by targeting functions with structured, revenue-attributable data and clear ROI measures will establish performance benchmarks that compress the window for competitors still cycling through pilots. The standard is being set now.

Learn MoreCybersecurity now involves hardened security controls such as data encryption, multifactor authentication (MFA), arduous breach notification protocols, and the active use of data loss/leakage prevention (DLP) tools. Confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) of data remain central to cyber security. Compare providers across key cyber security segments and learn the latest market trends.
Digital transformation demands the integrity of information, beyond reasonable – and sometimes unexpected – doubts. But few enterprises want to become – nor do they have the resources – to become digital security experts. Use our research to understand what is working and why, align spend on digital security, and make rapid improvement to achieve risk-adjusted value while making optimal decisions.
We’ve all seen an increase in high-profile cyberattacks. You should continue to focus on ensuring your service providers are resilient to cyber threats, but you should also evaluate ways to dilute cyber risk and the associated cost of a breach using cyber insurance.
